Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) and Trans North America Glass (TAG) Network announced that TAG Network’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerator is now available to ClaimCenter users in the Guidewire Marketplace.

While it may seem like a “no-brainer,” a Highway Loss Data Institute study found that “adding glass to vehicles contributes to increased glass losses.” According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), glass losses already “make up roughly two-thirds of claims filed under comprehensive coverage.” With the growing popularity and size of sunroofs in cars, it seems glass losses will continue to be a common source of claims for insurers. TAG Network undertakes the glass claim process for insurers, helping them increase efficiency and save time.

TAG Network provides end-to-end auto and residential glass claims management for insurers in North America. It leverages its call center and extensive network of trusted glass retail shops to offer professional, customized service and support.

The TAG Network Accelerator for Glass Claims Administration enables claims handlers to:

• Focus on the claimant and their needs, while TAG Network creates and manages auto glass claims in ClaimCenter on their behalf;
• Save time and effort through automated claim creation in ClaimCenter; and
• Enhance claim accuracy and security, as policy information is quickly and securely transmitted to TAG Network’s systems.

TAG Network’s app supports data transfer between both parties whether the claim originates with the insurer or TAG Network.

“Our integration with Guidewire allows the TAG Network to be ready to work with any ClaimCenter customer efficiently,” Steve Leal, president and chief executive officer, Fix Network World, said. “It increases the security and speed with which we communicate information to our partners and enhances the excellent customer service our call center provides.”

“Congratulations to TAG Network on the release of its new ClaimCenter app,” said Zachary Gustafson, General Manager, Claims & InsuranceNow, Guidewire. “Glass claims continue to be prevalent and costly for insurers. TAG Network and its app help insurers resolve these claims quickly, accurately, and securely.”
